Interventions
Scapular PNF technique, (TAPA) technique for the affected shoulder region plus conventional physiotherapy program in a form of (Complex decongestive therapy (CDT).
Complex or combined decongestive physical therapy (CDT): skin care and patient education, manual lymphatic drainage MLD, joints exercises, and compression garments. Scapular PNF: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is treatment approach that focus on motor learning, helps the patient to relax, improves coordination, and normalizes the motion. The repeated contractions technique increases active range of motion and strength and guides the patient's motion towards the desired motion, TAPA involves an intervention protocol composed of: 10-min neuro dynamics oriented to the activity 10-min proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation activities. 10-min proprioceptive anti-edema bandaging, including patient and/or caretaker instructions for placement, as well as assistance on techniques to use for performing everyday activities,
